On February 27, 2017, it seemed that the perfect political protest storm was about to disrupt the peaceful Historic District of St. Augustine, Florida. There was a "Spirit of America" Pro-Trump Rally scheduled at the Castillo de SanMarcos. At about the same time, the Communist Left’s newly organized group, ”The Indivisible’s”, were assembling on the Davis Shores side of the Bridge of Lions. To add fuel to the fire, the feisty St. Augustine Tea Party decided to deploy their largely ceremonial Dartmouth as a 'Battleship' to preserve the peace. All the ingredients for the potentially political battle were in perfect place.

Imbedded Town Crier Tells All

The Town Crier, Chairman, Lance Thate, in his Saul Alinsky disguise, pictured in the center of the collage right, embedded himself with the Indivisibles. He then proceeded to cross the Bridge of Lions with about 45 anti-Trump protesters. The Town Crier Chairman has extensive experience in the Historic District, evaluating the public’s reaction and acceptance of political issues. His experience goes all the way back to 2011, and the Tea Party’s challenge of the 'Occupy St. Augustine' group. The 'Occupy St. Augustine' group and the Indivisible’s have common organizers. Although the demonstrators were carrying signs encouraging automobile traffic to honk, only one car actually did blow their horn and several cars slowed down to suggest that the protesters “Get a job.” “If our Town Criers had marched across this bridge, we would’ve gotten far better acceptance. The Indivisible’s clearly lacked widespread support,”Thate explained. As the group got to the end of thebridgepassage, the embedded Town Crier Chairman called for the Dartmouth, which was lying in wait in Davis Shores, to advance. The execution was perfect as the Dartmouth intercepted the Indivisibles just as they were turning on to the Bayfront. The Dartmouth is 35 feet long, 55 feet long including the towing vehicle, which effectively blocked the protester’s access to the public. Mr. Thate reports that, “When the Dartmouth arrived there was complete disbelief and shock at what they were seeing. The Dartmouth, complete with a full-sized cardboard cutout of Donald Trump, anti-Indivisible signs and Gadsden flags flying was a site to behold. Rapid-fire comments were blasting from the Dartmouth’s sound system. As the shock wore off and the Indivisibles realized that the real Tea Party had arrived, they began chanting,” Dump Trump, Dump Trump, Dump Trump……” Mr. Thate reports that this was not terribly effective because it sounded more like "Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump…" Frustrated, they did not walk alongside the boat. The Indivisibles choose the seawall instead where they continued on to the Castillo de San Marcos. The Dartmouth effectively blocked their demonstration from the public view. In the pictures shown above, the upper left and lower right, are Indivisibles. They are so far removed from public view that they could easily have been mistaken for Pro Trump demonstrators. The rest of the people in the photograph are Pro Trump.
